Palm Sunday



This is a clip from the movie The Gospel of John ...

a 2003 epic biblical drama film that recounts the life of Jesus according to the Gospel of John.[3] The film is a word-for-word adaptation of the American Bible Society's Good News Bible and follows the Gospel of John precisely, without additions to the story from the other Gospels or omissions of the Gospel's complex passages. It stars Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus of Nazareth, Stuart Bunce as John and is narrated by Christopher Plummer.

I really liked this movie. Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond of LOST) was a good Jesus, and I also like Christopher Plummer's voice. The Gospel of John is my favorite of the gospels because it has a lot of interaction betwee Jesus and women, but it is, unfortunately, also considered the most antisemitic of all the gospels. Because of this, the film starts with a disclaimer ....

Jesus and all his early followers were Jewish. The gospel reflects a period of unprecedented polemic and antagonism between the emerging church and the religious establishment of the Jewish people.

Overall, I think it's worth a watch, especially if you want to know all that's in the Gospel of John.
